I have not been going much mostly due to weather. I knew it would be nice out today and went over to my hayfield permission. I started out gridding an area which after a while of digging trash and struggling to swing my coil in the quickly growing hay and dandelions, I started aimlessly meandering around the field trying to get in shorter growth. I finally came across a high tone that sounded sweet with a weird changing number (around 85, 86) Just before I dug it I thought, maybe another Real. I checked the plug, nothing, then the hole and it was a great sound, never even looked at the number. I started having problems finding the target with my Garrett carrot which got me more excited. I have had problems finding other half Reals because they are so thin. I finally got a little dirt clod to ring then broke it apart to reveal a fairly clean thin disc that I knew had to be what I suspected.
Enjoy the pix

I am sure close, But if I went over it I would have dug it...lol Honestly I am glad you got it, You deserve it with as generous as you are with your permissions!!

Maybe the growth turned that tiny thin coin back flat again, I'm hoping next year the owner will let me bring my riding lawn tractor in there and give the place a nice trim? Thanks, I'm so lucky to have found that spot.
 
It is so easy to not cover every inch of dirt :) Places like the hayfield if I lived there I would spend time going over and over it again and again.. You lucky man. Hopfully next week you get your 8 reale:)
 
Haaaaa, just notice I spelled hayfield, hatfield everybody must think I found a ham? lol
 
Man that's awesome!
 
Cool! Spanish silver!! Still on my bucket list, especially 1776 date! Congrats and HH
 
Awesome coin
Congrats
 
Sweet Spanish silver man :occasion14:. Glad you're back at it... Been a crazy spring.
 
What a great find! Beautiful coin!
